Kanye Says He Is The New Walt Disney

Yeezy’s world doesn’t exactly seem like the happiest place on Earth, but in his latest angry rant, Kanye West insisted that he’s the second coming of famed innovator Walt Disney. “I’m just a creative,” he told NY’s Power 105.1 this morning. “I’m more like, a Walt Disney or something.”

“Like, rap is just a chamber of my thoughts,” he continued. “It’s something that I really wanted to express as a modern-day poet, because you know, if I had lived in a past lifetime, maybe I would have been a playwright or something. But in this lifetime, to be the most heard and the most relevant, the most relevant is to be a rap rock star. You can express at the highest level there.”

But Disney isn’t his only influence. West also claimed in the bizarre interview, “I’m like Howard Hughes! I’m like [NBA commissioner] David Stern! I’m like Steve Jobs!”

“If anything,” he insisted, “that’s a compliment to them! I’m like Michelangelo. Because I’m the new version of that.”

And his baby mama Kim Kardashian is also the new version of an old world icon, he claims. Referencing the recent 100th anniversary cover of Vanity Fair, which featured Kate Upton as Marilyn Monroe, West yelled, “Kate Upton ain’t Marilyn Monroe! Kim Marilyn Monroe [sic]! She was controversial. She controversial [sic].”
